Aussie man faces fine for using a drone to get a sausage from Bunnings

An Aussie man may be fined $9,000 for using a drone to collect a snag from Bunnings, which was then delivered to him in a hot tub!

It’s reported that the man piloted the drone from his backyard in a 2km journey across houses, a 4-lane road and the Bunnings store carpark.

Attached to the drone was a container and a note which read: ‘Please buy snag and put in bag here’s $10′.

The drone hovers over the car park until a man places a sausage in the bag. Video linked below.
